PrintVis Tip of the Week #29: Adding Multiple Users to a Database with Windows Powershell

This week Peter Tijsma reports back to us from Utrecht, The Netherlands, with a very specific script that provides a sweeping shortcut for adding multiple users to a newly-set up database, rather than encountering a common (and frustrating) error message.
